Working to bridge the gap ...

The photo above shows the gap created in the Black Hawk Bridge following the removal of several spans of the bridge while repair work continues to replace the cement piers that had recently shifted, causing a portion of the bridge deck and railing on the east end of the bridge to do the same. The bridge was closed February 25 due to that shift, with those concrete piers currently being replaced by steel support structures that will allow for the displaced bridge spans (sitting at right in the photo) to be put back into place and the bridge to open again to traffic, with the repair project anticipated to continue at least through the end of April.
